Is there a place to eat lunch at the Museum?

It is important for students to have both physical and mental rests during their visit. This time can be used to absorb on what they have seen or learned.

As food and drink cannot be consumed in the Museum, we suggest these nearby locations for you and your class to enjoy your breaks:

King George Square

Roma Street Parklands

Anzac Square

Can our class bring school bags?

Students are encouraged to leave bags and other bulky possessions at school and only bring food needed for breaks to cut down transition times, however, there are cloaking facilities for school bags/hats if needed.

Is there a Museum shop?

Yes, the MoB Shop reflects the Museum’s purpose to discover and explore the people, places and stories of Brisbane. The MoB shop also stocks a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books with a focus on Brisbane art, culture, fashion and history appropriate for classroom inspiration and use.

Can students take photos?

To ensure the safety of the artworks, and in consideration of other visitors, we ask that no flash photography or as otherwise directed be taken in the Museum.

How many adults need to come on the excursion?

Given the size of City Hall we ask that groups be supervised at all times by the appropriate number of adults for the safety of all students. This ratio is particularly important when travelling up the Clock Tower or in lifts while on tour . Please arrange the following:

1 adult per 4 (Prep – Year 3)

1 adult per 10 (Year 4-6)

1 adult per 20 (Year 7-12)

1 adult per student with additional needs

As the Museum will be open to the public during your visit we encourage you to divide students into small groups with an adult allocated to each group before you begin your exploration. Group supervisors are responsible for the supervision of students while in the Museum and should remain with their assigned group at all times.
